Chapter 110: The Storm Sweeps
(Thanks to the sad reward, every book friend who supports it, Lotus keeps it in mind.) You are the source of Lotus's hard work, and everyone is fighting !!!)
This is also the first corruption case in the Korean entertainment industry, with a large number of criminals and an astonishing amount of money, which once again shows the outside world how deep the water in this circle is.
On the one hand, Volkswagen praised A.P for its courage in admitting its mistakes and correcting them in a timely manner. believes that only by cutting off poisonous sores like Yin Chengxi and others can a company maintain its clarity. Coupled with the good reputation of A.P Company some time ago, it finally got through the danger from this crisis.
On the other hand, the public can't help but wonder if even a large company as regulated as A.P can commit such an astonishing crime. So, are other entertainment companies clean with their hands and feet? For a time, this kind of argument was very loud, and there was a momentum of volcanic eruption.
Taking this opportunity, the South Korean High Public Prosecutor's Office announced that it would conduct a unified investigation of all entertainment companies in South Korea.
The scale of this investigation is unprecedented, and all large and small entertainment companies in South Korea have been affected.
The results of the survey, which lasted nearly two months, shocked the public.
A series of scandals such as money laundering, unspoken rules, underworld violence, power-for-money trading, etc., have exposed the dark side of the entire entertainment industry. Every day, people are invited to tea by the procuratorate, so there are countless entertainment companies that have gone out of business.
On May 28, a bombshell news broke out, which once again ignited the mood of the people.
Kim Young-wook, the current president of S.M., was investigated by the Supreme Prosecutor's Office of South Korea on a number of charges such as embezzlement of public funds and unknown sources of huge assets.
The scandal of S.M, the largest and most influential entertainment company in South Korea, has caused the public to be completely disappointed.
The call for strict investigation has filled the major information sectors. Stretched out by Kim Young-wook, even Lee so-man, who was recuperating in the United States, did not escape the public's attention. Under such circumstances, he did not dare to return to China at all. In a short period of time, S.M. was leaderless and chaotic.
Not only S.M, but also companies such as JYP, YG, DSP and other companies have been implicated a lot, but fortunately, Park Jin-young and Yang Hyun-seok have clean hands and feet, and they are as steady as a chime.
Not only that, but taking this opportunity, the two also shaved off some shareholders and senior executives involved in the case, monopolized the shares of many companies, and monopolized power.
DSP was the worst-hit company.
The shareholders of this company are not ordinary, and each one is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Over the years, these people have embezzled the company's assets, resulting in a continuous decline in the competitiveness of DSP. If it weren't for the Crystal Boy and FIN.K.L, I'm afraid it would have been closed long ago. Even so, this time they were also broken and their vitality was greatly damaged.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the six Crystal Boys, who had long been inseparable from DPS, proposed to terminate the contract.
DPS, who is too busy to take care of himself, has no intention of fighting, except for retaining all the copyrights and names of all the songs of Crystal Boy, all other conditions are agreed.
In this way, Yin Zhiyuan and others escaped from the cage of DPS with more conditions than haode in their previous life. Although the Crystal Boys are not there, it is believed that they will have a relaxed and beautiful future.
Originally, Choi Jung-won also wanted to pry FIN.K.L over. Not for this combination, just one Lee Hyori is also worth his doing.
However, after the Crystal Boy is gone, DPS is only such a cash cow, and if it is given away again, it will really be powerless.
In such a situation, no matter what means Cui Zhengyuan used, Li Haoyan would not agree.
Cui Zhengyuan, who failed to get what he wanted, sighed, and had to temporarily hold back his coveting heart for Lee Hyori. In 2003, FIN. It's time for K.L to disband.
The entertainment industry is full of sorrow, and the scenery of A.P company is unique.
How could Choi Jung-won give up such an opportunity, unite JYP and YG, wave checks in the circle, and recruit on a large scale.
Under the crisis, jobs are not guaranteed, and the original loyalty has long been replaced by the embarrassment of life. Throughout May, according to incomplete statistics, the number of talents recruited by the three companies exceeded 500. And that's not even counting the artists and duckweed-like trainees.
Cui Zhengyuan, who was sitting comfortably on a chair and enjoying green tea, wondered maliciously whether Li Xiuman, who was in the United States at this time, was wearing a martial arts belt on his head, gritting his teeth and holding a needle to pierce the villain with his name painted on it.
Kim Young-wook's matter was stabbed out by Choi Jung-won through secret channels, and the purpose was, of course, to divert public attention.
Compared with a super big name like Kim Young-wook, A.P.'s Yoon Sung-hee's attraction is completely unreasonable. In a crisis, why not eliminate your own dangers, pass on the blame to your opponents, and take the opportunity to weaken your competitors?
Although Kim Young-min and Kim Young-wook are not in harmony, they are brothers after all, and if he knows that he calculates his relatives like this, I am afraid that the cooperative relationship between the two will end here. Therefore, Cui Zhengyuan did not hesitate to use the Cui family's secret route to complete the goal. Fortunately, the Cui family's strength is strong enough, and things are done seamlessly, and the chances of being detected by the outside world are extremely slim.
Kim Young-wook was imprisoned, and Lee so-man avoided trouble. In this case, the remnants of S.M Company were not taken seriously by Cui Zhengyuan at all. The situation did not surprise him, as he reached out to the big fish when the JYP and YG families swept up the small fish and shrimp.
The harvest is also very gratifying.
Before and after, he recruited a total of seven dance teachers, twelve backup dance troupe members, three vocal teachers, and a composer from S.M. Company.
Of course, what made him happiest was that a female trainee was poached from S.M.
The little girl is delicate and timid, and she doesn't speak Korean very well. But there is a nice name, called Zheng Xiuyan. In the future, she will have an English name, Jessica. This very popular girl in the future girlhood can be said to be the biggest gain this time.
Moreover, with Zheng Xiuyan, is Zheng Xiujing still far away?
In order to poach Zheng Xiuyan, Cui Zhengyuan contacted her parents through various channels.
After several days of persuasion, coupled with the notoriety of S.M Company during this time, the Zheng family's parents were also worried about their daughter's future. Therefore, after consulting Jung so-yeon, Choi Jung-won paid for the termination of the trainee contract with S.M.
During this time, S.M Company was in turmoil, and many trainees had terminated their contracts.
Therefore, the company was not surprised at all by Zheng Xiuyan's withdrawal. Only the scout who found her on the street felt extra sorry, but he had no energy to stop it, so he could only wish the little girl a beautiful future.
After leaving S.M, Choi Jung-won did not let Jung so-yeon join A.P in the first place.
When the original owner suffers, he climbs another high branch, and this kind of behavior will be disgraceful no matter where he goes. Although the current Zheng Xiuyan is not literate, no one cares. But after all, she has a case record in S.M, and if she debuts in the future, she is likely to be brought out to talk about it.
Unthankful, hating the poor and loving the rich, thinking differently, think that these vicious words are applied to a girl, and her future will be completely destroyed.
In view of this, Cui Zhengyuan let the little girl go to school with peace of mind for the time being. After waiting for two months and calming down, let her be "accidentally" discovered by A.P's scouts, and then it would be logical to enter the company again.
At Zheng Xiuyan's home, Cui Zhengyuan also saw the future little crystal. But an eight-year-old child, like a wilted eggplant, can't see the mold of a beautiful woman at all. If it weren't for Choi Jung-won knowing her identity, he would definitely be skeptical about her future.
The dance teacher who was brought in from S.M's company also recommended two trainees to him. After understanding, Cui Zhengyuan was a little moved, but he immediately gave up.
It's not that those two trainees aren't good, it's that they're not a good fit for A.P.
The two trainees, the male is named Jung Yun-ho, and the female is called Kim Hyo-yeon.
If you want to say that the strength of these two people is beyond doubt, TVXQ's captain, lead dancer and lead dancer of Girls' Generation are not underestimated roles anywhere.
The problem is that these two children are too boring and have a narrow path to development. It doesn't fit in with A.P's diversified development model at all, and if you get them, it's likely to ruin them.
S.M has strict rules, and all artists must follow the established haode route. Although it seems to annihilate humanity in this way, it also gives those who are not capable of autonomy something to rely on.
A.P adheres to a free and extroverted style, and requires its artists to have the ability to diversify and develop.
Once these two people get here, they don't meet this requirement, and sooner or later they will also be eliminated. Although it is fun to fight his opponent Cui Zhengyuan, there is no need to destroy the future of the two children. So let them continue on the same path.
In fact, there is a more important reason for stabbing Kim Young-wook's matter out at this time.
Although there is still more than a year to go before the presidential election, the struggle between the big GJ party and the new millennium MZ party has long been in full swing.
For the time being, the big GJ party seems to have a slight upper hand with its deep heritage, but Choi Jung-won clearly remembers that the winner of zuihou is Roh Moo X of the MZ party.
The reasons for this are: First, there is discord within the big GJ party. Lee Jong-c, Park Geun-H, and Chung Mong-z ran at the same time, distracting the party's resources.
The second is that at the critical moment of the general election, the MZ Party in the new millennium dealt a fatal blow to the big GJ Party, which led to its total defeat.
This fatal blow was the imprisonment of Jung Mong-J, the president of Hyundai Motor Group. For this step, the New Millennium MZ Party listed a number of crimes, which eventually caused Li Huic to lose strong reinforcements and finally suffered a complete defeat.
Although the big GJ party also threw S.M's president Kim Young-wook into prison with color, it didn't help.
This time, Choi Jung-won shook out Kim Young-wook's scandal in advance, and got angry with his father Choi Ki-chan, believing that the big GJ party will definitely take advantage of the topic and touch the melon.
The reason is very simple, although Kim Young-wook is the president of S.M, this industry is not his, but belongs to the Kim family. More precisely, it belongs to the MZ party of the new millennium.
Then, if Kim Yong-wook embezzles public funds, the procuratorate will definitely investigate the whereabouts of these funds. You don't have to think about it to know that it must be used to make campaign funds for Lu Wu X.
If he is dragged into the water by this cut-off, then the MZ Party in the new millennium will fall into the abyss.
The people of the Big GJ Party must understand the truth, so when Choi Jung-won's information was presented, they immediately used it to maximize it.
The MZ Party and Lu Wu X in the new millennium will certainly not sit idly by, and if they want to fight back, they can only divert the attention of the people.
Choi Jung-won made Kim Young-X and covered up Yoon Sung-hee's scandal. So who can attract more attention than Kim Young-wook, it is undoubtedly Jung Mong-J, president of Hyundai Motor Group.
As a die-hard supporter of Lee Hui C's presidential campaign and Lee M-bo's mayoral campaign, there is no better target than him.
The current president of South Korea is Kim Dae-z, and the power of the country is in the hands of the MZ party in the new millennium. This action is even more thunderous and amazing.
What's more, it was the head of the Hyundai Group, a national pillar industry, that broke out the scandal. The enthusiasm of the people was detonated all of a sudden, where do you remember Kim Yingxu, a little shrimp.
Some people may have doubts, didn't Cui Zhengyuan make the big GJ party suffer a big loss by doing this.
In fact, Zheng Mengj's matter is like a time bomb hanging there, which may kill people at any time. Cui Zhengyuan detonated it in advance, and the power and effect were much worse.
You know, there's still more than a year left before the election. If this happens at this time, it will not have much impact on the preparation for the general election. The big GJ party has every time to adjust its strategy and make up for the impact. It's better than breaking out again near the general election and catching people off guard.
Besides, with the energy of the Zheng family, it is impossible for Zheng Mengj to really die in prison.
Bail, amnesty, illness release, etc., as a man of the hour in South Korea and the object of many efforts. He will be out of prison for no more than a year.
When that happens, the other party will have no excuse to do anything to him.
And with the strong support of Hyundai Motor Group, even if Li Huic still loses in the end, I believe it will not be too ugly to lose.
But Lee M-bo's hope of being elected mayor of Seoul has greatly increased, and this is the result that Choi Jung-won hopes to see. After all, compared with Li Hui C, the former is closer to the Cui family.
Choi Wu-ryong and Choi Ki-chan did not give up the near and far, and desperately supported Lee Hui C's reasoning.
Speaking of this analysis, Choi Wu-ryong and Choi Ki-chan were very surprised and pleased with Choi Jung-won's political vision.
With this son, there should be no danger of decline in the Cui family within fifty years. As for the rest of the matter, thinking that they will also be ancient at that time, how can they still manage the aftermath.
